What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lol, aka the worst in 2.5 hour traffic

 

I was seriously considering putting a set of those on my Mazda3 before it got totaled, right behind the 40in lightbar on the roof. Maybe my next vehicle will get the BIG horn.

 

Lol, I spend 3 hours a day driving into and out of Boston, and I wouldn't have it any other way than with a choose-your-own-adventure-stick and an extra pedal.

 

Sweet. Easy as 123

 

To each their own. I did it for numerous year when I was younger, and def not something I enjoy in traffic. As my weekend car no prob, but def not my daily

 

All cleaned up!

 

Welcome to TW!

PICS

 

Does this allow the sensors to think the air pressure is active and you don't need the sensors to actually be in the tires?

 

Yep thats what its used for. Most people make them out of PVC and not soda bottles though.

Hit the 20k milestone on my way home from work.



Also, just ordered new MESO map lights to replace these faulty no-name ones that came with my truck.

 

It's the warn accent winch bumper and yes part of front bumper is still there . Just had to modify where you would put hidden light bar . That plastic piece comes out and some minor cutting of the plastic bumper

 

but... why? Why not just put the TPMS in the wheels?

 

Yes, which is convenient if you have multiple sets.

 

Got the Meso AC vent rings installed. A pretty easy job. The hardest part was cutting those stupid little nubs that hold the OEM rings in. After that, it was just a matter of aligning the rings so that they were all oriented the same way and getting everything back together. About 30 minutes from start to finish.

I got Cement, but in retrospect the flat black might have looked better. No matter, either way the light isn't reflecting of them and annoying me.

 

Bath Day

 

Nope, still not seeing the point here. Do unused sensors need to be stored at pressures above atmosphere? Pretty sure replacements devices aren't shipped that way from the factory. How do you read out the bottled ones, anyway? With a TPMS programmer?

 

they mean multiple sets of wheels that you dont want to buy extra TPMS sensors for, or swap them from set to set. It's pretty much just making your wheels not have TPMS, so you don't have to worry about them

 

Still not clear. If you don't want to put the sensors in the wheels because you have 2 or more sets of wheels, why bother keeping the sensors active? For whatever reason, my TPMS wasn't reading pressures for many months. No big deal. No flashing lights or anything, truck didn't refuse to move. Just no pressure readings.

 

I just added this remote unit to the 12v outlet for my winter tires and ignore the yellow light on the dash for a few months.

 

Oh, now it's starting to congeal... There is a yellow tire pressure warning light, isn't there. Guess I was pretty good at ignoring it.
